Full on. Big and precise. Like this vintage a lot. Showing clearly a great potential.

Medium to dark ruby in color; black cherries, cedar, and blackberries on the nose; medium plus acidity; medium tannins; tastes like raspberries, dried flowers, a hint of black pepper, and wet gravel with a long finish. I like it. — 3 months ago

2000 vintage. Never a fave L-B vintage as it has always seemed a little too much sizzle and not enuff steak. FF two decades and said wine is drinking more like a Napa cab vs a BDX. Chunky and in a state of transition (discombobulated) but still medium-heavy body after two+ decades. The 2005 is more affordable and drinking better, imho, currently. Will this effort will ever round into form for dedicated L-B fans going back to the 1985 vintage? Not tasting it. Storybook fill and cork. Decanted and tasted immediately, after 30 mins and after two hours. Aggressive sed. 7.3.24. — 21 days ago
